The evironmental organization that I would wish to join is Greenpeace.
Greenpeace was first organized in 1971 in order to go against nuclear testing that was being conducted by the United States in Alaska. The organization was located in Vancouver, Canada. It later segwayed into dealing on environmental issues from across the world. Now Greenpeace is located in over 42 countries across the world is is one of the leading organizations that deal with environmental issues.
Greenpeace's mission official mission statement is as follows:
Greenpeace is a global campaigning organization that acts to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by:
Catalyzing an energy revolution to address the number one threat facing our planet: climate change. Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves. Protecting the world’s remaining ancient forests and the animal, plants and people that depend on them. Working for disarmament and peace by reducing dependence on finite resources and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons. Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing. Supporting sustainable agriculture by encouraging socially and ecologically responsible farming practices.
The reasons I chose this particular organization is mostly because of their ability in the past to create awareness regarding serious environmental issues. One cause that I have so passionatly faught for is the preservation of our planet. Sadly enough it is deteriorating as we speak, therefoe we must take action in order to not prolong such deterioration. Greenpeace has done a phenominal job in the past and I do believe they will continue to have success and thus help save planet earth.
